Cinnamic acid is obtained from oil of cinnamon or fro balsams in Peru. An example is storax. Cinnamic Acid is found in Shea butter and it is made synthetically. The odor of this compound is honey or floral. This is also an odorless and non hazardous compound. It was first used by feeding Cinnamic Acid to people and dogs, while islation hippuric acid in the urine. This research was bases of the newly created synthetic pharmaceutical industry. It is an unsaturated carboxylic acid. Cinnamic acid is made of mostly strong hydrogen bonding between the carboxyl group.The crystals of Cinnamic Acid have a layered structure and a frequent parallel arrengement in the phenyl groups. The most common hydrogen bonds are usally within a layer.

Cinnamic Acid Uses-
It is used in flavors, synthetic indigo, and some pharmaceuticals. Cinnamic Acid is also used to converting to esters, such as methyl, ethyl, and benzyl cinnamate, for uses in perfume and flavor applications. It is also used in sunscreens to protect against UVA and UVB Rays.
